1.5 HOW A DRIVER INTERACTS WITH THE BENDIX ® WINGMAN ® ADVANCED ™ SYSTEM
Table 2 illustrates how the Wingman ® Advanced ™ system will respond to various actions a driver may take when using
Wingman Advanced system on the road.
The driver is always responsible for the control and safe
operation of the vehicle at all times. The Bendix ® Wingman ®
Advanced ™ system does not replace the need for a skilled,
alert professional driver, reacting appropriately and in a
timely manner, and using safe driving practices.
How a Driver Interacts with Bendix ® Wingman ® Advanced ™ (1.5)
Action Reaction of Wingman Advanced
If the driver does this: Expect the Wingman Advanced system to do this:
Steps on the brake.
(During a collision
mitigation event.)
The driver is always in control and is able to apply full braking power.
Steps aggressively on the
accelerator. (During a
collision mitigation event.)
The driver is always in control. His/her actions override any Wingman Advanced
system actions. Note: If cruise control is engaged, it will be overridden until the
accelerator is released; then cruise control will resume the original set speed
automatically.
Steps on the brake. (When
in cruise.)
Cruise control will be cancelled.
Steps on the accelerator.
(When in cruise.)
Cruise control will be overridden until the accelerator is released; then cruise control
will resume the original set speed automatically.
Switches on the cruise
control.
Nothing. The adaptive cruise control with braking feature will not engage until the
driver sets the cruise control speed.
Switches off the cruise
control.
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature will turn off; the collision mitigation
feature remains active and ready to intervene. The driver will continue to hear all
alerts as needed.
Sets the cruise control
speed.
The adaptive cruise control with braking feature is automatically activated. Your
vehicle maintains a set speed and following distance behind the vehicle ahead.
Covers or blocks the radar.
The Wingman Advanced system performance will be diminished or even disabled
and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set. A blockage will also affect engine
cruise control availability.
Uses normal cruise control
“+/-” switch.
Vehicle speed increased (+) or reduced (-) to achieve the new set speed while
actively maintaining following distance with the vehicle ahead, if one is present within
500 feet.
